Heh. :-) Legally (at least in the US), a corporation is a person, as well as people. A natural person means human beings only; the corporation bit doesn't apply. In other words, a corporation cannot be part of the OGB, but humans can. > Can/would the OGB seeks funding from outside of Sun?

I think that bit is trying to read the future. At the moment, Sun controls the purse-strings, but in theory, OpenSolaris could be spun out as a separate legal entity, in which case Sun would presumably no longer control the purse.
